# Brett Cashman I think the bigger reason that protectionism hasn't...

Brett Cashman I think the bigger reason that protectionism hasn't worked for tech is due to the fact that you can create a successful tech company with a laptop and an internet connection.   Protectionist laws wouldn't work, even if they could be passed.
